If you click on it and it is sending you to a different website that is nothing you have asked to receive, then I would have to say that it is spam and would junk it.

Did this message come in as a comment on your website? If so, just trash it -- it's definitely a spam comment.
I'm not sure what you mean by "in the text". Is it showing up as part of a blog post or page on your site?

I see those links of your WA siterubix site. The links indicate that they have something to do with "Babylon Toolbar". Do you have such a plugin installed on your site?
If you don't have a Babylon Toolbar plugin installed, I don't know what could be causing what we're seeing. By the way, whenever I click on the links that are being inserted, they take me right back to your page, not to a different page. I'll see if I can find any more about this.
What follows is speculation on my part:
What plugins are you using? Have you installed anything besides the "normal" plugins, such as akismet, all-in-one-seo and a few others?
If so, I'd suggest deactivating each of those plugins, one at a time, until you see those ad links disappear. The deactivated one would be the one that's inserting the links. (You should be sure to refresh your browser each time to be sure that you're seeing the change as soon as it happens.)
The plugin that's inserting the links may contain some obscure item in its "Terms and Conditions" that permits it to insert ad links into your site's code. Such a provision might be very difficult to spot. A malicious plugin developer could write the T&C in such a way that the provision was muddled and confusing in the hope that you would miss it.
